What are read receipts in Skype?
Read receipts show you exactly who has read your message in real-time. You'll see a miniature version of your contacts' avatar right underneath the point in the conversation that they've read up to. Select one of the mini avatars to see a full summary of who's read the conversation.
Read receipts are enabled by default and available in one-to-one conversations, or in groups with less than twenty participants.
